If you hadn’t noticed by now, yes, our race is on Mother’s Day. Read on for ideas on how to make all kinds of moms happy about that fact. 🙂
Mothers… I can think of no better way to spend Mother’s Day then running a mountain race! There will be special prizes for you too!
Husbands/Fathers/Sons/Daughters… Treat the mother in your life to a fun and relaxing outing! Hint: Don’t leave the kids at home (unless you have a baby-sitter who is not a mother). Sleepy Hollow is very family friendly complete with resident kids, a swing set, a froggy pond, and lots of open space for running around.
Romantic Types... Love is in the air at Sleepy Hollow. 8 bedroom Inn, sauna, rustic cabin, peaceful scenery.
Local Attractions… Still rather spend your Mother’s Day doing something else? With a 9:00am start time there will be lots of time post-race for brunching and enjoying the sites. See below for ideas:
